We'd also love for everyone in our community who is (and isn't) still around to join our Discord server, so we can stay in touch with one another, as it is much easier this way, and much more reliable. We can keep each other up to date and in the loop on things and exchange tips, ideas, even play games together online as well.

It looks slim in this picture, but the number is growing slowly, but surely.

Our newest staff member, PraetorPyro, has been been running it for quite some time. He has also run a YouTube channel dedicated to SWRebellion. There, he gives a lot of tips and tricks to the game on there.

We still ask that you continue to submit tickets to our help desk for issues pertaining to our website, server, e-mail services, etc. at http://help.swrebellion.com or by e-mailing help @ swrebellion.com You may if you wish join the Discord channel and speak with a Staff member and they can help create the ticket for you, and if the right person is online perhaps resolve your issue as well.

Hello all -
I didn't think this was possible but logins are now working and forum posting is enabled. So far now other part of the site is functioning properly, particularly the admin center which controls everything so other than manually posting news in the database directly, I don't have much to go on. Hopefully our new site will be coming online soon.

This announcement is long overdue, and I am having to use a direct database Insert query to post this. For reasons we cannot fathom, the SWR website and database became non-functional after a server to server transfer when we upgraded servers. As a result, no one is able to login, post, create accounts, retrieve passwords, etc. The site is stuck in READ ONLY mode, due to problems we and three contracted phpNuke coders have been unable to fix. We apologize for the inconvenience. Good news is you should be able to access all the content still.

On to new news, we have founded the Star Wars Gamers Association, with which we will be unleashing a new website that focuses on the modern releases of Star Wars Games, as well as old and new games in the Star Wars genre. We will be migrating our existing forums and their content to our new website (and pray that nothing goes wrong during that migration). We have hired a team of professional web designers and coders to work on the new website. We are excited to be moving forward and preserve this community. We thank you for your patience with us and hope to see you back again once the new website launches. Until then May the Force be with you!

It's been a while since we've seen a really cool Space Sim, and I am pleased to announce Star Citizen and Squadron 42 from the maker of Wing Commander, Freelancer, and many other cool PC games: Chris Roberts. Completely crowdfunded, to avoid any publisher or big company's agenda, Star Citizen is anticipated to launch in November 2014, with Alpha and Beta versions available to backers at undetermined dates. Please visit their website, at www.robertsspaceindustries.com/about-the-game/ . And if you are a gaming programmer, they are hiring for some positions at www.cloudimperiumgames.com .
